Why do we even need fedup ? I already upgraded 2 machines with yum distro-sync w/o many issues[1]. I do not understand why there isn't work on making a yum plugin if something out of the ordinary needs to be done to upgrade instead of coming up with new tools every time. Simo. [1] One issue with policykit (on both machines) where it wouldn't work and slow down login and many other operations resolved simply with 'yum reinstall PolicyKit' -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
